Despite following the example +MANIFEST file given on the wiki I am > getting the error pkg: Bad format in manifest for key: version You can see the manifest for any package on your system by: pkg info -R pkgname If you copy the format there, you shouldn't go far wrong. Note that pkg(8) will automatically calculate the file checksums and work out any shared library dependencies for you, so you can leave those bits out of your manifest It's written in UCL (https://github.com/vstakhov/libucl) -- that's very similar to JSON in this case. (UCL can also look like the nginx config file format, but that's not really relevant here.) > I am invoking the command like this: pkg create -M ./+MANIFEST > with the current working directory being the one containing the manifes= t > and all the program scripts. >=20 > the line in the manifest is as follows: >=20 > version: 0.3 >=20 > Any idea why it doesnt like this?

That would be: abi =3D "FreeBSD:10:*"; arch =3D "freebsd:10:*"; (assuming you're running FreeBSD 10.x) You will need both abi and arch settings, although for a pure Python package they don't really add much value to the package. > 3.

According to the docs there is no way to specify one or the ot= her. No, this is recognised as one of the biggest limitations in pkg(8) at the moment. Strict dependencies are baked into packages, and the version matching is exact. This makes a difference at install time -- although it does seem to be possible to update a dependency at a later date without too much trouble.
